<-h2->Sock boots with a close ankle fit<-h2-> Something happens when a boot grips the ankle. Our collection of sock boots runs from flat to heeled, in stretch knit and jersey shafts with suede and leather look finishes, across black, brown and softer neutrals. Slide a pointed pair under a straight tailored trouser and the whole leg line lengthens, the trouser suddenly reading sharper than it did on the hanger. With a midi dress and opaque tights, the same boot turns a daytime outfit into something you would happily wear to dinner, and a low heeled version does the same for a denim skirt and a fine knit on a Saturday in town. Because the shaft sits close, there is nothing to interrupt the silhouette, which is why these work under wide leg jeans where a heavier boot would break the line. Think of them as the piece that settles everything above, whether that is tailoring, knitwear, a dress or denim. Get the boot right and the rest of the outfit stops trying so hard.
